This is the third consecutive "Euro-Jazz" CD compilation produced by Jazz & Tzaz Magazine (Greece), featuring a large proportion of the groups and musicians that will participate in this year’s concerts of the 4th European Jazz Festival in Athens.

So, for Donna Summer, working with them was a logical decision when, in 1989, she made a temporary return to a Euro-dance-pop setting.

Le choc sera d’une rare violence pour nos économies, comme l’a montré la faillite en 2008 d’une simple banque d’affaires américaine, Lehman Brothers, qui a entraîné la plus grave récession depuis 1929.
